Never any money for universal health care, but always infinite billions available on a dime for war for oil and minerals.

A reminder that removing evil Middle East dictators by military force - under false pretenses - without a plan for what comes next - is the easy part.

No one weeps for Khomenei, but Operation Epstein isn’t about bringing “democracy” to Iran.

We only need look at what Trump
did in Venezuela.

He toppled Maduro, but kept his regime in charge, stole the Venezuelan people’s oil, and put the money in a private bank account in Qatar.

YouTube video by CCRVEVO Creedence Clearwater Revival - Fortunate Son

Draft-dodger Trump plays the song “Fortunate Son” at his MAGA rallies - a song about how the children of the privileged (like him) can evade fighting in wars but poor kids can’t.

In Trump War 3, it will once again be “rich man’s war, poor man’s fight.”

(Yes, Trump lied to you about this too.)

"The war is not meant to be won, it is meant to be continuous." - George Orwell

Where is the so-called humanitarian purpose in attacking civilians who are already victims of a blood-thirsty regime? A missile struck a girls’ school earlier today, killing at least 80 people. Many more unnecessary casualties are to be expected. Stop the hemorrhage already!

I just ordered my “Ride the D” t-shirt from shop.metro.net

Looking forward to the “Take the K” t-shirt someday.

The success of Mayor Mandami’s $30/hour to shovel snow operation demonstrates two things Republicans don’t want people to see.

- Government run well works for the public good.

- You can attract enough workers if you RAISE WAGES. (Supply & Demand). People aren’t “lazy”. Wages are too low.

YouTube video by Mr. Beat The problem with 435 representatives in the U.S. House

As Wyoming's population is currently 576, 851, under this more representative and proportional system CA would elect 68, TX 50, FL 38, NY 34, etc. The new House total would be around 585.

The U.S. Senate represents states, not population. The U.S. House has been capped at 435 members for a century and is no longer represents by population, either.

I support passage of the "Wyoming Rule": The least populous state gets 1 House seat, and every state gets seats in proportion to that.

Keir Starmer's letter to Labour MP's contains jaw-dropping levels of denial. He hasn't learned a thing.

These t-shirts are going to be a smash at Pride this year

People are asking what else they can do.

My advice is to drop your subscriptions to Paramount and Warner Brothers services and use that money to support as many independent media outlets as you can afford. Pick a couple and give them a try. It's critical we build a pro-democracy media ecosystem.

My top choice for California Governor is Xavier Becerra.

He was Sec. of Health & Human Services, California Attorney General, U.S. Representative, a child of immigrants, and knows what it is like to be working class.

At least give him a hearing .

Labour came in third. No good spin on it. There is going to be a cull of Scottish Labour MSPs, Welsh Labour MSs, and London Labour councillors without a change.

If I were in Scottish, Welsh, or London Labour, I would want a change at the top to at least try to save the furniture before May.

If you believe there is "no possible way" that Donald Trump could end up on the ballot in 2028...you have not learned a Goddamn thing.

Mike Johnson said last night, “If we lose the midterms…it would be the end of the Trump presidency in a real effect.”

"Vote Democratic"

Just use that short clip and run adds everywhere on television and social media all the way through November.

I said what I said.

I had to remind Trump that his administration was responsible for killing two of my constituents.

I have seen enough. Jasmine Crockett for Senate.

These animals had happy endings. Be the happy ending for a shelter pet who has their own story and just wants to love you.

I didn't just rescue my furry companions; they rescued me.

Two animals have touched our hearts this year:

- Aloka, the stray dog who befriended Buddhist monks and walks with them for peace.

- Panchi, the lonely, bullied monkey who was rejected by his parents, took comfort in his sole companion, a stuffed animal, until adopted by another adult monkey.

People could vote their first choice without worrying that they are helping to nominate/elect their last-choice.
